Former Manchester United defender Jaap Stam explains how to defend against Man City's Erling Haaland

Former Manchester United defender Jaap Stam has explained how to defend against prolific Manchester City striker Erling Haaland.

The Norwegian has scored a staggering 10 Premier League goals in six games for Pep Guardiola's side, including two hat-tricks. Haaland has also added two Champions League goals to his tally during his side's 4-0 win over Sevilla last week.

The 22-year-old is already just five goals shy of matching Kevin de Bruyne's 15 league goals last season, the club's top scorer in the competition, with 32 matches still to play. At his current rate of scoring, the former Borussia Dortmund striker will end up with 63 goals this season - almost double the all-time record.
